When did you have surgery and how soon after did you eat lettuce? Salads are really one of the few things I really miss.

I had my surgery 6/5 and I started eating raw veggies last week. My nut said after 8 weeks I could start eating almost everything. Dried fruit, nuts, seeds, and stuff like that are still out if the question.

How much are y'all able to drink? I think I drink to much too fast. I can drink about 8oz in about 45 mins. I'm afraid I might be stretching my pouch...or is this normal?

Today marked 9 weeks out for me. Down 39 lbs but not even two pants sizes. Makes me wonder where I lost the weight from. It's like I'm failing at this too. Everyone else gets to break up with Lane Bryant and Avenue. I feel like I'm stuck forever.

I seriously have been thinking the same thing. I see the pictures people post here and think wow...but then i look at myself and think dang...when will I start to see a difference. I have some black scrubs in my closet that are no where close to fitting yet. It brings me down...bad. Thanks for your post...at least I don't feel so alone on this.

I'm in the same situation. Pre op I was in an 18 but I tried on a 16 the other day and they fit but they were TIGHT!! I'm down 38lbs. I have noticed that it depends on the brand. I have a couple of pants that I bought at target and they are a size 18 but I bought a pair of 16 at Macy's. And the size 18 Levi's I have are like 6 inches too big. Go figure. Everything will even out.

Me too friends! I know intellectually that the weight will come off but . . . Seems like I've been at the 38 lb loss mark forever. I can't fail at this, can I? (Yes I'm exercising and getting in at least 50g Protein daily).

The first few weeks I had it off and on. My doc let me take some over the counter med to help. Call your docs office to see. After a few weeks off an on it worked it self out. Hope you feel better.

Almost 46 lbs gone! In 7 weeks I'm feeling better everyday. I love this place with you all. It is so helpful! Even with the up and down days we all have. I'm thankful today is a good day. Feeling blessed!

I did. And not to be gross but it smelled like toxic waste. It went away a few weeks after though. My surgeon said it was fairly common.

I think I can drink 8 oz in way less time. I. Don't think I am stretching anything bc my eating is still very limited at meal time.

Surgery: 6/5/2013
